Most families are just surviving. Arrows & Acres is for the ones who want something more. Daniel and Allison Hartman are a husband and wife raising a large family on Florida's Gulf Coast — homeschooling, homesteading, running a family business, and doing all of it on purpose. This podcast is the conversation they're having at the kitchen table, in the truck, and at the end of a long day — and now they're pulling up a chair for you. They're not here to motivate you. They're here to challenge you. Every episode cuts into the real stuff: what it actually takes to raise children who become capable, godly adults. How to protect your family's attention in a world designed to steal it. What biblical manhood and womanhood look like when you strip away the cultural noise. How to build something together as a family — a business, a homestead, a legacy — without handing your life over to debt or a schedule someone else controls. What it means to disciple your children n…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-02T00:17:23.822796+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/arrows-and-acres-7836536"},"episode":{"title":"Courtship, Character, and Covenant (Ep 12)","slug":"courtship-character-and-covenant-ep-12","published_at":"2026-06-24T11:13:07+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/arrows-and-acres-7836536/courtship-character-and-covenant-ep-12","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/arrows-and-acres-7836536","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/5c9be5c2126bab202d8bcf4108857c1aab7f42bfcd90c7300fa053582bf08fd2/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIxMmI1M2Q1Ni1hZTJmLTQ3MTctOTk5YS1lOGRjY2U0NzEyMjQiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI2YWFkNTUwOS1kYWE1LTRlNGMtODFlYy0xM2M2OWFiMzU5ZmIiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OWJlY2Y5OTMwZGYyMjg3MzhiMzJhNjIiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmEzYmI4YTZiODE2N2VlNDQ5YzhlNWI5L3JhbmR5LXNjaHJ1bXMtc3R1ZGlvLURsWlVHLWNvbXBvc2VyLTIwMjYtNi0yNF9fMTItNTktNTAubXAzIn0=.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/5c9be5c2126bab202d8bcf4108857c1aab7f42bfcd90c7300fa053582bf08fd2/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIxMmI1M2Q1Ni1hZTJmLTQ3MTctOTk5YS1lOGRjY2U0NzEyMjQiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI2YWFkNTUwOS1kYWE1LTRlNGMtODFlYy0xM2M2OWFiMzU5ZmIiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OWJlY2Y5OTMwZGYyMjg3MzhiMzJhNjIiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmEzYmI4YTZiODE2N2VlNDQ5YzhlNWI5L3JhbmR5LXNjaHJ1bXMtc3R1ZGlvLURsWlVHLWNvbXBvc2VyLTIwMjYtNi0yNF9fMTItNTktNTAubXAzIn0=.mp3","summary":"The culture hands your children a boyfriend at 13 and calls it normal. Scripture calls it something else. In this episode, Daniel and Allison Hartman take on one of the most avoided conversations in the Christian home: how you actually lead your children toward marriage with intention, integrity, and a covenant framework, not just hope and good intentions. This is not a method. It is a posture. And it starts with a question most parents never ask: is this relationship aimed at marriage, or are we just training them for divorce? Daniel and Allison speak from first-generation experience. They did not grow up in homes where this was modeled. They figured it out, sought wise counsel, and built a framework worth passing down. In this episode: - Why every relationship without the intention of marriage is just practice for heartbreak - The good, better, and best framework for navigating courtship - What betrothal, friendship-dating, and intentional-relationship models actually mean and when each applies - Why community accountability is not optional when covenant is the goal - The two traits Daniel and Allison train their children to look for in a future spouse: unoffendable and teachable - How the marriage covenant pictures Christ and the church, and why that picture is worth protecting \"He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.\" Proverbs 13:20 (NKJV) If your children are old enough to notice the opposite sex, they are old enough for this conversation.
